Plumas National Forest is no joke. 1,146,000 acres, towering mountains, dozens and dozens of lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, we could go on and on. Any outdoor activity you’re searching for can probably be found here. Wherever you happen to wander in the park, you’re never too far from an amazing lake or an epic trail. For reference, the Pacific Coast Trail runs straight through this baby, and there are more than 20 lakes in just one of the park’s districts. Right near the Sierra Nevadas, Plumas is a perfect spot for those of you looking to avoid Tahoe crowds and still have a sweet time outdoors.
